Modernize Spreadsheets with Low-Code No-Code Apps

A lot of businesses today rely on several spreadsheets and dashboards to manage their operations. But what they don't realize is that it is not the most efficient way of doing business as spreadsheets don't scale with their growth. As a result, there was always a need for custom-built applications over such spreadsheets. Thanks to applications such as AWS honeycode & Microsoft PowerApps that use a spreadsheet view as its core data interface and to manipulate data, you can work with standard spreadsheet-style formulas, which seems to be about the closest the service can get to the actual programming. 

If you're wondering how easy it is

This helps the businesses to digitize and automate processes faster to improve Time to Market and Time to Value.

I believe Low Code No Code has reached a level of maturity where it can support various small business transaction systems and process-oriented systems such as :

• Field Service Management
• An Employee Onboarding System
• Inventory Management System
• Reservation System
• Audit Forms & Surveys
• Quality Check System

As businesses shift to the cloud and the data gets migrated there rises a need to build a platform that runs on the same platform where most of the organization’s data is already stored, hence these efforts towards adopting Low Code No Code will also accelerate Digital Transformation.

Regardless of the path forward, It would be interesting to know how these applications manifest themselves in the near future.

Sample Use Case : Below is an architecture that depicts a solution that is designed to collect responses from Amazon Honeycode survey application and the pipe-line to analyze results with Amazon QuickSight BI Service.

This use case demonstrates:

1. How encapsulation of software development within such platforms empowers developers to conceptualize solutions over programming.
2. The capability of such Low Code No Code Apps to integrate with other services through Web API.
